Lorrie Morgan - One Less Monkey LYRICS

When I lit my first cigarette it didn't hurt me none

But I realized the danger on my 97th one

I took a pill, I did the patch, got myself hypnotized

Blew away the ashes, drew a great big breath of life

Now there's



CHORUS

One less monkey

Hangin' on my back

I shook it off, cut it loose and that's 5, 4, 3, 2

One less monkey that I have to feed

I feel so much lighter, now there's

One less monkey on me



I was just a number on the clock from 9 to 5

Rushing through the madness, I was payin' with my life

I had a dream, I had a plan a long, long time ago

Resigned myself to freedom and I took it on the road

Now there's



REPEAT CHORUS



There's a jungle full of monkeys that would love to weigh you down

But I'm lookin' for a better way of monkeyin' around



REPEAT CHORUS



I feel so much lighter, I feel so much higher

I feel so much finer now

There's one less monkey on me
